C14 I'm Betting That You're Not the One in the Pool

"Thank you, Mu Old Patriarch for your concern!"

Looking at the herbs in front of him, Xiao Jian's eyes flashed with a look of satisfaction. Both color and age had come at his request, and he could identify them by smell.

From this, it could be seen that Mu Tianhai had put in a lot of effort.

"Haha …" If not for your guidance five years ago, with my old bones, I'm afraid I still hadn't broken through to the Core Transformation Stage yet! If you don't mind, you can call me grandpa! "

Mu Tianhai laughed and said frankly.

Xiao Jian heard this and black lines appeared on his forehead again. This old guy always wants to take advantage of me and still calls me grandpa, why don't you go to heaven? A person who has lived for three thousand years should call him grandpa.

"I think you should have broken through to the middle stage of the third stage of the Core Formation Stage now. After breaking through the Core Transformation Stage, you will be able to obtain three hundred years of lifespan. You still have three hundred years to go, raise your cultivation all the way to Creation Stage, and after you have reached the level of good fortune, you will receive another five hundred years of lifespan! "

Xiao Jian's gaze fell on Mu Tianhai as he spoke in an unhurried tone. However, these words were like a thunderclap in Mu Tianhai and Mu Qingxue's ears.

Mu Tianhai knew that his cultivation was deliberately concealed, yet with just a glance, Xiao Jian was able to tell what his cultivation level was with unerring accuracy.

Mu Qingxue looked at Xiao Jian in confusion. Under normal circumstances, people with low cultivation could not see through the cultivation base of martial cultivator.

Xiao Jian, a person without any cultivation capability, could actually tell Mu Tianhai's cultivation level so accurately. This was completely against common sense.

"Son-in-law, how did you see through my cultivation level?"

Mu Tianhai was shocked. Although he was angry, he still asked.

"To be able to see is to be able to see. It's no big deal." The so called realm where martial cultivator with a low realm were unable to see through martial cultivator with a high realm was only a normal realm. As for me, I am a bit out of the ordinary!

Xiao Jian smiled and said mysteriously.

"Little Snow, your realm is a bit unstable. You must have used some special method to raise your cultivation to the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage!"

Xiao Jian glanced at Mu Qingxue again and said. Within the Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, perhaps Xiao Jian was the only one who called Mu Qingxue that.

However, Mu Qingxue rolled her eyes at Xiao Jian when she heard how Xiao Jian addressed her. She felt a little resentful in her heart. Didn't she just call him Miss Mu out of the ordinary? Did it sound so smooth to call her little girl Xue now?

"What grandson-in-law says isn't wrong. There are only three months left before the Empire's Five Major Sects' student recruitment test." Although Xue'er had already been appointed as an inner court disciple of Qingyuan Academy, the process of the examination still had to go. If we don't get the second place in the test when the time comes, we won't have a good look at our Mu Family either! "

Mu Tianhai said with a shy face. Sometimes, having a big name doesn't seem to be a good thing. Mu Qingxue's talent was indeed outstanding, but without Xiao Jian's guidance all these years, it would have been impossible for her to reach her current level.

"Why is it number two? With Little Snow's innate talent and Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, who could compare to her? "

Xiao Jian rolled his eyes and said in confusion.

"Of course it's you!"

In the face of Xiao Jian's questions, Mu Qingxue and Mu Tianhai looked at each other and said almost at the same time.

"I'm just a cripple. I'm only eighteen years old, and I still can't cultivate a Profound Qi. What do you mean first?"

When Xiao Jian heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. This grandfather-grandson pair was also quite interesting, they actually placed him first.

Hearing Xiao Jian's words, Mu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him. From her point of view, although Xiao Jian was unable to cultivate, his combat power was too much. This was completely against common sense.

Mu Qingxue completely believed that Xiao Jian must be hiding something.

"Ai …" It's a pity that this set of theory and experience of yours is indeed invincible, it's a pity that you can't cultivate it, if not, wouldn't Xiao Family be unstoppable in this set of Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities? "

When Mu Tianhai heard this, he was a bit disappointed.

"But, don't worry, grandson-in-law. Although Qinxue's father is opposed to this marriage, that bastard's words don't count at all. Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, the only thing this old man will recognize as your grandson-in-law! "

Mu Tianhai said again. Mu Qingxue couldn't help but blush when she heard Mu Tianhai call her a grandson-in-law.

Xiao Jian shook his head when he heard this. "Miss Mu is indeed talented. This engagement of mine will only spoil her future. This world pursued fame and fortune, and strength was respected. If you were to say that Mu Old Patriarch did not insist on this marriage contract because he did not ask for anything, you probably would not believe it yourself, right? "

"Then take it as a gamble. This old man will bet that you are not a person of the pond, and that you are only a hidden dragon in the depths of the abyss. One day, there will be a dragon swimming in the sea, roaming all around!"

Mu Tianhai wasn't angry at all when he heard that. In his eyes, although Xiao Jian had no cultivation, his wisdom and knowledge was inferior even to someone as experienced and shrewd as him.

How could such a person continue to wait?

Moreover, his performance in the Xiao Family Hall today was seen by him. Relying on his inability to cultivate, he defeated the person who was ranked number one under the Xiao Family, this was an extremely unreasonable thing to do in the first place.

However, he knew that it was only natural when it came to Xiao Jian.

In the eyes of the onlookers, the fact that Xiao Jian was able to defeat Xiao Shen was just an unorthodox method, and an opportunistic method. However, in Mu Tianhai's eyes, it was different. As long as he could defeat his opponent, who cares? Even in this world, strength was respected. As long as one was able to defeat the other in a single blow, there was nothing to be said. The loser would not even have the chance to defend himself in front of the winner.

"Hehe …" Congratulations, you made the right bet! I'm not afraid to tell you, I have trained bitterly for eighteen years and have not been unable to produce Profound Qi! "

Xiao Jian laughed, straightened his back and said with a serious expression.

Mu Tianhai's old eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He thought to himself that this brat had indeed been hiding his true strength all along. Was he finally going to reveal his true strength? At this critical moment, Mu Tianhai even had a bit of anticipation in his heart. He was looking forward to find out how strong Xiao Jian was.

Mu Qingxue, who was standing at the side, had the same thoughts. It was said that there was no one in this world who could defeat the martial cultivator without using a Profound Qi.

A trace of a faintly discernible Profound Qi appeared in Xiao Jian's hand, hovering at the tip of his finger.

"This... This is your Profound Qi? "

Mu Qingxue looked on speechlessly. This faintly discernible Profound Qi could only be described as having been born into nothingness.

"That's right, this is the result of eighteen years of hard work!"

The corner of Xiao Jian's mouth twitched as he said with a smile that was not a smile. Just as he said that, the sliver of Profound Qi between Xiao Jian and Xiao Jian dismounted from Xiao Jian's control and floated into the air.

"Son-in-law, this tiny bit of Profound Qi is useless."

Mu Tianhai wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead and said speechlessly.

"Why is it so useless? After passing the tests of the five great sects and entering them to cultivate, I'm counting on this tiny bit of Profound Qi!"

Xiao Jian immediately retorted when he heard this.

"Alright!"

Mu Tianhai was speechless and nearly fell to the ground. As for Xiao Jian, there were many things on his body that he couldn't see through. There were many outrageous things that he had no choice but to accept, but this was unacceptable.

Relying on a wisp of Profound Qi and passing the tests of the five great sects, why didn't you ascend to the heavens?

"Little Snow, help me get that 1500 year old Blood Ginseng!"

Xiao Jian didn't care about Mu Tianhai's reaction. His gaze fell on Mu Qingxue as he spoke.

"Alright!"

Mu Qingxue held up the box containing Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng in front of Mu Tianhai and walked towards Xiao Jian, handing the blood ginseng over to Xiao Jian. She just didn't know what Xiao Jian was going to do with it.

"What do you want the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng for?"

Mu Qingxue was still curious, so she asked.

"Refine, absorb, and raise my cultivation base!"

Xiao Jian said a few words that were simple, clear and powerful.

"Now?"

Hearing Xiao Jian's words, a trace of astonishment flashed across Mu Tianhai's aged eyes as he asked.

Xiao Jian did not have any cultivation. No matter how much time he spent, it seemed like he could not refine or absorb this Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng. Xiao Jian told him to prepare the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng and other herbs, they were all medicines to strengthen the body.

Xiao Jian didn't say what was the use of him coming, so he didn't ask.

From the looks of it, Xiao Jian wanted to use it for himself.

However, these herbs were all very precious. The medicinal properties of these herbs were not something that Xiao Jian's current cultivation and physical condition could handle.

"Otherwise?"

Before Mu Tianhai could say anything, Xiao Jian already started to move. It seemed like he was not joking, he was really going to refine the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng on the spot.

"The Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng's medicinal properties are so strong, you can only cultivate a sliver of the Profound Qi, and are unable to withstand its violent medicinal effects. If you forcibly absorb it, your body will explode and you will die!"

Seeing Xiao Jian's actions, Mu Qingxue also frowned and had a worried expression on her face.

Son-in-law, Xue'er is right, this is a Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, and its age is 1500 years old. If you refine it now, your body will explode because you cannot endure the blood ginseng's medicinal strength!

Hearing that Xiao Jian didn't seem like he was joking, Mu Tianhai frowned and said in a serious tone.

"That's just someone else!"

Xiao Jian shook his head and said without a care. He still did not stop his actions, preparing to refine the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng in his hands.

At this time, Xiao Jian had already started refining the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng and it was already too late for the two of them to stop him. Although Xiao Jian only had a trace of Profound Qi on him, as long as he had Profound Qi, he could refine the medicinal ingredients.

At this time, if Xiao Jian was told to stop, Xiao Jian would be seriously injured because the effects of the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng were not something that other normal medicines could compare with.

They saw the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng in Xiao Jian's chest turn into fiery red energy after being worn down by Xiao Jian's wisp of Profound Qi. Before long, the fiery red energy of the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng was completely refined by Xiao Jian.

The next step was to absorb and refine it.

This step was the most crucial step. If a large amount of medicinal power entered martial cultivator's body, but his body was unable to withstand it, the final result would be that martial cultivator's body would explode and die.

Seeing Xiao Jian about to absorb the fiery red energy in his hand, Mu Qingxue and Mu Tianhai held their breaths at the same time. Even he, Mu Tianhai, did not have the guts to directly quantify the energy absorbed by the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.

This was because directly absorbing the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng's energy was equivalent to asking for death.
